varying temperatures are targeted towards being at 10ºC‚ 20ºC‚ 30ºC‚ 40ºC‚ and 50ºC. It is highly improbable that each trial for each of the 5 different temperatures will be the exact temperature that was targeted‚ so it’s just important that you end up having a temperature fairly close to the targeted temperatures so that the rates of reactions that you do receive are as correct as possible. The rates of reaction will be obtained using an apparatus that will guide the carbon dioxide gas being produced

Abstract The purpose of this experiment is to determine the concentration of acetic acid in vinegar by using 0.1 M HCl and NaOH solution. By performing three titrations to determine the concentration of the base‚ the concentration of the acid was determined to be 0.600 M. It was possible to determine its concentration by standardizing the sodium hydroxide solution used for the first three titrations and by using phenolphthalein to indicate its equivalence point. In conclusion‚ although there were

DNA Extraction Lab Purpose: To compare the amount of DNA extracted from two different species‚ despite using the same method. Hypothesis: I predict that the liver will produce a higher quantity of DNA than the strawberry. This is because I believe that animals have a higher DNA yield because our structure is more complex than a plant’s structure. Materials: -Sample of Strawberries -Zip lock bag -DNA extraction buffer -Cold ethanol -Glass rod -Double ply cheese cloth -Two test tubes

Abstract There are many methods employed to precipitate proteins out of solution. In this experiment we manipulated many physical and chemical variables in order to achieve purification of a protein via precipitation. In the first part of the experiment we purified the protein casein by modifying it’s pH. In the second part of the experiment we manipulated the ionic strength of albumin in egg whites‚ in a process called salting out. By manipulating these chemical properties we were able to

Outline Overview: Biology’s Most Exciting Era Biology is the scientific study of life. You are starting your study of biology during its most exciting era. The largest and best-equipped community of scientists in history is beginning to solve problems that once seemed unsolvable. Biology is an ongoing inquiry about the nature of life. Biologists are moving closer to understanding: How a single cell develops into an adult animal or plant. How plants convert solar energy into the chemical energy

Lab 1 Diffusion‚ Osmosis‚ and Water Potential of Glucose Problem: What effects will glucose have on diffusion‚ osmosis‚ and water potential? Background: All living things have certain requirements they must satisfy in order to remain alive. These include exchanging gases (usually CO2 and O2)‚ taking in water‚ minerals‚ and food‚ and eliminating wastes. These tasks ultimately occur at the cellular level‚ and require that molecules move through the membrane that surrounds the cell. There

Eco-Column Lab Write up Alicia Whiteley Block 4 Abstract: In this research and experiment we were testing whether or not we can maintain a healthy eco-system based off creating one from scratch. We initially went into this experiment confident that we were going to be able to keep our fish alive which was proven wrong mid-way through due to high levels of turbidity and the state of the fish. After collecting all of our data‚ we maintained a healthy terrestrial level and a good PH

Nicolette Lindberg 11/30/12 IB Biology 2‚ Period 1 Transpiration Lab Background Information- Transpiration is the loss of water from a plant. Plants transpire water out of the stomata in their leaves at a different rate in every environment. The amount of transpiration is affected by the environment‚ how developed the plant is to not lose as much water‚ the surface area of the leaves‚ and how affected the plant is by its environment (Von Bargen). For this experiment‚ the plant we used was (Viola tricolor

Brandon Schmetterer 3-13-15 Biology labs DNA Extraction Lab DNA is extracted from humans for genetic testing‚ for body identification‚ and for analysis of forensic evidence. The first step of DNA extraction is to take cheek cells from the test subject. Next‚ the cells must be burst open in order to release DNA. Third‚ DNA is separated from protein and debris. Lastly‚ the DNA must be isolated. A buccal swab is necessary in order to collect the cheek cells .The micropipettes are used to add lysis
